Brother António Pereira is directing the handiwork of a group of students from Preparatory Seminary, attached to the mission. The youngest carries a watering can in each hand, while the others hold hoes, rakes and cultivators. One man holds a basket with produce, possibly. The following information is printed on the back of the postcard: “Missões de Angola e Congo. Braga ̶ Portugal. Missão Católica de Lãndana ̶ Nas hortas da Missão. Com a formação profissional e tecnica, muito em honra nas Missões, não descuram os Missionários a formação agricola dos indigenas nos vastos campos de cultura a que consagram larga parte da sua inexaurivel actividade. A gravura representa o Irmão António Pereira, um dos auxiliares mais antigos das Missões, dirigindo o trabalho manual dum grupo de alunos do Seminário de preparatórios, anexo à Missão.” There is no handwriting on the back.
